What were YOU doing in 1992?
• Bush and Yeltsin were slammin' Millers Light at Camp David to celebrate to end of the Cold War.
• The closing ceremony of the 1992 Winter Olympics was held in Albertville. Did you know that "Albertville" means "Albert town"??
• Microsoft released Windows 3.1, teaching the whole world how to be a 3½-inch floppy DJ.
• Young me was spending all the money I didn't have in Spider-Man trading cards.
Meanwhile, in the Galactic Quadrant of Rock 'n Roll, Robert Pollard a.k.a. the Gandalf of Tatooine, forged a slab of vinyl to rule them all. A compilation of 15 slaps in your face that turned out to become the stone cold classic of at least 3 milleniums. In the very same 1992, "Propeller" came out on what was going to become the juggernaut of indie music : Rockathon Records.
500 copies, 500 different handmade covers, 500 reasons to do something else than buying meaningless Spider-Man trading cards. This album is so good even Pitchfork gave it a 9.2/10, and they usually just like hip hop and Mariah Carey.
"This album taught us about Prog Rock." - Emersson, Blake & Pallmer
"Lethargy was my wedding song." - Abraham Gandi
Anyway, it's time for you to get your hands on the Holy Grail's Holy Grail of indie music and complete your GBV collection with a piece of bad*ss ROCK history.
IN BOB WE TRUST.

"The chance of a lifetime to get your hands on one of the coolest Propeller ever made." - your parents
This hand numbered copy of "Propeller" remained in shrinkwrapped (a word that has its own Wikipedia page just like this fabulous record) and is in very good condition. It's number 244, which is, not kidding, considered a lucky number in several areas of the United Arab Emirates (especially Dubai) but also the dialing code for Angola. It's also one of the "F" series, hence the sexy yellow fat F on the wrestlers side.
Vinyl looks pristine. I don't think it has even been played, but I surely didn't put it on my own turntable over the last 11 years, and only let like 2 people (including me) having a look at it.
Comes with a couple of Euroheedfest GBV patches and other extras*.

Album Notes (that you also already know)
Guided By Voices: Robert Pollard (Bob), Jim Pollard (Jim), Tobin Sprout (THE TOB), Greg Demos and his funky pants, Don Trasher. Additional personnel: Mitch Mitchell (not the Hendrix one, the other. The cool one), Dan Toohey. Without a doubt, Guided By Voices are the best low-fi absurdist hard-rock experimental collage band ever to emerge from Dayton, Ohio. Even Jay Carney said so. While singer/guitarist/songwriter Rob Pollard's (who the f*ck wrote that?!) fragmentary structures and religious observance of the low-fi aesthetic may frustrate some, it is difficult to resist his infallible instinct for melodic hooks and his tongue-in-cheek appropriation of anthemic '70s hard rock. PROPELLER (love when it's written in caps) dates from GBV's mid-period, located between their often incoherent early efforts (incoherent for who??) and somewhat more streamlined albums such as ALIEN LANES (that mainstream album). Along with BEE THOUSAND, PROPELLER is a perfect example of what this idiosyncratic (wtf?!) outfit is all about. Mixing an art-project cut-and-paste sensibility with a clear love of classic rock, GBV wire together scraps of punk ("Unleashed! The Large-Hearted Boy"), naive '60s pop ("On The Tundra"), acoustic folk ("14 Cheerleader Coldfront"), stadium anthem ("Lethargy"), and shamelessly hooky songs ("Quality of Armor") complete with infectious choruses and Beatles-esque harmonies. Pollard's surreal, often nonsensical lyrics serve as gentle reminder not to take this band's wonderfully creative rock amalgam too seriously.

Shipping MUST be registered. That goes without saying.
Not sure about the price for Fedex and UPS but it has to be considered due to the high musical value of this record.
